TORRINGTON — The Northwest Connecticut Arts Council is partnering with Arts Culture Torrington for Arts Night Out, Thursday May 16 at 5:30 p.m. AT THE CT Academy for the Arts in Torrington.

Arts Night Out is an opportunity for artists, artisans, business owners, and art lovers from all over the region to come together. The Council invites residents, enjoy a glass of wine and light refreshments, view a slideshow of local art, and socialize with one another.

The arts council intends to provide a social networking opportunity for all who attend and a fun night out for the arts community, while bringing business to local social spots such as breweries, wineries, restaurants, bars, galleries, and others, while providing guests a chance to meet the staff, executive director, and board members of the arts council and to learn about what services the council provides.

“I couldn’t be more excited about being a cosponsor of this event, and what the future will hold as the Torrington Arts and Culture Commission begins a new era of cooperation and collaboration with the Northwest Connecticut Arts Counci,” said ACT president Ed Cannata.

“We are so proud to co-host Arts Night Out at CAFTA’s newly renovated Cineteque Theater with Northwest Connecticut Arts Council and ACT,” said Theresa Sullivan, executive director of CAFTA. “We are pleased to be able to provide an occasion and venue to introduce new arts and artists to each other and the community.”

CAFTA is creating a slideshow of local art for this event. Up to three submissions can be sent to maddie@artsnwct.org for consideration by Monday, Apri 29. Artists are encouraged to submit any works they like, but new works are preferred. Submissions must be jpeg files that fit 1920 x 1080 pixels. File should be named: FirstName_LastName_TitleOfPiece.
